See what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign

Virgo, this is the season to love and be loved. Have you seen the line of suitors standing outside your door? Libra, you are being blessed with a partner who is truly, deeply and madly in love you. Allow yourself to be treated like Cleopatra incarnated. Gemini, peace, love, harmony and togetherness are on the cards. September is the month to deepen your commitment.

All affirmations in this horoscope are from Louise Hay’s 2003 book, I Can Do It.

Is there more to this connection than fun and flirtation? Your feelings may not be as strong as theirs. Make your stance clear, Aries. This is a good way to ensure you’re both on the same page. Now imagine the same situation in an alternate Universe. You’re invested in making things work, but feel limited by your circumstances, given you’re in the midst of major changes. Beware of pulling the disappearing act or being unavailable. Once you communicate your head space to the other, you will realise they are more than willing to understand.

Welcome to the Tinder age, Taurus. A place where multiple options are available to you, but none of them can replace the void within. What this phase of you life is bringing your attention to: you are looking for love in all the wrong places. Once you’re done with the self-sabotaging spree, breathe, step back and reassess your equation with yourself. Confront the metaphorical that is keeping you from attracting healthy relationships. What if finding that place of harmony within you is the key to making monumental changes?

Peace, love, harmony and togetherness are on the cards for you. This month is bringing with itself all the feels, Gemini. Get ready to deepen your commitment. If you’ve been going steady for a while, your partner could surprise you by popping the question. Whether you’re thinking about having a traditional ceremony or running away to the hills, September is the month to begin your planning. Expect to be spending a lot of quality time with your friends and family as well, given your interpersonal relationships are illuminated. Just make sure you don’t forget the most important person in your life in the midst of all the madness. PS: Indulge in some self-care everyday.

Affirmation: “Deep at the centre of my being is an infinite well of love.”

How long are you going to put the needs of others before your own? At the rate you are going, a crash and burn is inevitable, Cancer. What this phase of your life demands: a greater degree of self-love and self-reliance. Learn to be there for yourself in a holistic way. Yes, we’re talking mind, body and soul. Distancing yourself from the drama will help you find perspective. Going through a bitter break up? Let go of the last thread of hope. The heavens got a plan for you. Let it unfold.

Affirmation: “I choose to feel good about myself. I am worthy of my own love.”

Oh, to have the perfect house with the perfect garden and the perfect living room. But what makes it a home, Leo? The people who inhabit it, of course. If you’ve been spending too much time away from your loved ones, find that elusive work-life balance. What you will discover in the bargain: there’s more to life than bringing that big, fat paycheck back, and that nothing in the world compares to the joy of spending an afternoon sharing stories with your family and friends.

Expect an endless line of suitors outside your door, Virgo, whether you’re swiping right for love or not. Let yourself bask in all the attention, without bringing guilt to the party with you. You may or may not be in the zone to commit to something long-term or play the monogamous game, and that’s okay. Be sure to convey your headspace to the beloved(s). What does promise to be a source of joy, though, is your female friendships. Raise a toast to the sister circle who shows up for you despite the trials and tribulations they are going through in their own lives.

If you’ve been playing the dating and mating game, expect monumental changes. We’re talking about a partner who worships you like you’re Cleopatra reincarnated! What sets the suitor at hand apart from the others, is the fact that they’re not in the mood to play games. They may or may not put a ring on it immediately, but they’re thinking about long-term commitment. Libra, September is a good time to keep your inhibitions aside and allow yourself to be loved.

Affirmation: “I now deserve love, romance and joy—and all the good that life has to offer me.”

It doesn’t matter how old you are or how long you have been together, there’s always room for intimacy and expression. Words of affirmation are a love language, which lets your partner know how special they are. Remember, you don’t have to make an elaborate speech or resort to poetry and prose. Let ‘the simpler, the better’ be your mantra. Your energy is sure to inspire them to speak from their heart as well. For some, this could be a time of rewriting the rules of engagement. Just because you have been relating to each other in a certain way does not mean you have to continue to. Say what needs to be said and say it now.

Just because the chemistry is mind-blowing does not mean the relationship is. Are you letting oxytocin and other hormones mess with your ability to think clearly? Something to reflect upon once you have recovered from that post-coital bliss. Sagittarius, remember to gauge the situation by their actions, not words. If they’re choosing to appear as per their convenience, you will know from the beginning that it is going to be a one-sided love.

Just because it hasn’t worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean you will continue to face blocks. Your mind is the real demon in this story. That and the stories it makes up. Word for the wise: give this relationship a fair chance. Some may find that their partnership is a source of joy and bliss, but the family dynamics surrounding you are a pain in the rear side. Remember, you can’t change people, Capricorn. But you can decide how much you want to be affected by what’s going on.

Affirmation: “I willingly release any need for struggle or suffering. I deserve all that is good.”

Be patient with both yourself and the other. With work and other worldly responsibilities taking centre stage, you will have no option but to put your relationship on the backburner. But is there such a thing as being ‘too comfortable’? So comfortable that you stop making an effort? Let ‘new’ be your operative work when you find yourself stuck in a rut, both in the bedroom and outside. We hear you’ve got some serious moves up your sleeve. It’s time to put them into practice now.

Affirmation: “From time to time I ask those I love, “how can I love you more?””

What if they’re not who they’ve been pretending to be? This month brings with itself a serious reality check, one that could potentially change the course of your life. Allow yourself to take the rose-tinted glasses off, and see your relationship for what it is, no matter how painful this may seem in the beginning. You deserve to know the truth, Pisces. Some of you could be making your way out of toxic relationships and patterns. Take the time you need to heal and recover from the trauma. You are in the process of breaking an old habit.

Affirmation: “I am in the process of making positive changes in all areas of my life.”
